SIP 2.0.1 and PyQt v2.0 should support all official releases of Qt (ie.
not beta releases) since v1.42. The only exception is Qt v2.1.0.

PyKDE (at the moment) only supports KDE v1.x. KDE v1.x requires Qt
v1.44. Therefore, if you want to use PyKDE then you must use Qt v1.44
and KDE v1.x.

The errors you describe all seem to be related to trying to compile
files from one version of moc against a different version of Qt. Moc
generated code is often not compatible between different versions of Qt.

When you move to a different version of Qt you *must* recompile SIP and
PyQt, and make sure you do it with completely clean sources.
